So I managed to drop my bike while in the garage and the front mudguard has a nice big crack in it.
I’ve been watching plastic repairs on YouTube and it looks simple enough, I was just wondering what the best product for the job would be?

I actually use JB weld...strong as f***
I put it on thick and sand it down.

Its a beeyatch to sand down, use really coarse paper, but it really does the trick. Lot of effort though, im sure there are better solutions

What bike? You might be surprised how cheap a replacement could be.

It’s only an old hornet 600, I’ve looked at replacements but by the time I factor in painting etc I’d be better off fixing the one I have.

Fairdoos. I just thought you would need to paint it anyway.

It’s not a panigale, just whack some gorilla tape on it and all good.
